Chapter 860: A Foreign Friend
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Stunning Snow did not expect to see Mo Wen here.
“Why wouldn’t I be here?” Mo Wen curled his lips into a smile. The foreign woman was very mysterious. He wondered what she was doing in Hua Xian. Could it be related to the Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood?
“Hmph.”
Stunning Snow harrumphed slowly and turned around, ignoring Mo Wen. She remembered this young man but did not have a good impression of him. When they were on the Yuanyang Cruise Ship, he had looked at her without permission. She had also suffered a loss at his hands.
The deepest impression she had of Mo Wen was that his soul power was very strong. He was much more powerful than she was.
Since she was ignoring him, Mo Wen did not try to talk to the foreign woman. However, he was still very interested in the Gold Black Inner Armor. He looked at it carefully and did not leave.
There was a sign beside the armor with a long string of numbers written on it. Whoa! It cost 2.8 million spiritual stones! This was an amount that Mo Wen could not imagine.
2.8 million spiritual stones was a large sum in the Immortal Cultivation Realm. It was enough to buy a slightly sub-par superb-grade profound-level weapon. An immortal cultivator in the Primordial Soul Realm might not be able to afford it even if he were to sell everything he owned.
The handsome young man standing beside Stunning Snow glanced at Mo Wen. He frowned slightly. He knew Stunning Snow very well. She was always calm and composed in all circumstances. Her expression would not change as greatly as it just had even if she had encountered an enemy. What had happened between this youth of Hua Xian and Stunning Snow?
“Miss Stunning Snow, who is that man?” the handsome young man asked in faux casualness.
Stunning Snow glanced at the handsome young man and suddenly smiled. Her smile was like a flower blossoming and even Mo Wen’s eyes wavered a little. However, an ominous feeling rose within his heart subconsciously.
“He is a very good friend of mine. However, we fought some time ago,” Stunning Snow said with a smile. It was rare for her to smile and it was the first time the handsome young man had seen her smile like that.
Mo Wen was stunned and he looked at Stunning Snow speechlessly. When had they become good friends?
“So, he’s your friend.”
The handsome young man smiled normally. However, Mo Wen could keenly sense the dangerous aura in the man’s eyes.
“Nice to meet you, I am Alec Diaz, a member of the English royal family,” Alec said with a smile. He copied the Hua Xia etiquette and extended his hand to Mo Wen.
“Hehe, a foreign friend. Nice to meet you.”
Mo Wen laughed and reached out to shake Alec’s hand. He already understood that the foreign woman, Stunning Snow, was going to use Alec to create trouble for him. He had “accidentally” seen her naked, but did she have to bear such a grudge about it?
The two of them shook hands casually. Mo Wen was about to pull his hand back when an enormous force suddenly emerged from Alec’s hand. The power was very shocking and even Mo Wen was stunned. If it had been a warrior who was below the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, his palms would have been pulverized.
That was just his physical strength. It was difficult to imagine how strong the foreigner was.
It was obvious that this Alec was trying to show him who was the boss. He had secretly tried to hurt Mo Wen, and this was both vicious and audacious.
However, while the foreigner’s physical body was very strong, Mo Wen’s was stronger. His physical body could compare to that of a martial art grandmaster. No matter how hard Alec pressed, Mo Wen remained calm and composed.
“This foreign friend is very passionate.” Mo Wen’s lips curled up in a smirk. He continued to allow Alec to hold on to his hand.
Alec grew more and more surprised. He had already used all his strength but had not shocked this man. How was that possible?
Stunning Snow realized that something was off as well. She looked at Mo Wen in surprise. She could see them both using their strength; however, it was not her place to say anything. What she did not expect was that Mo Wen would not lose to Alec.
Others did not know the truth, but Stunning Snow did. Alec was a werewolf and his physical body was naturally very strong. There were not many species that could surpass the physique of a werewolf in the western world. Furthermore, Alec was the son of the tribe leader of the Diaz family. In Hua Xia, his cultivation was similar to that of the second realm of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm.
In a competition of pure physical strength, Alec could not beat Mo Wen. Stunning Snow felt incredulous at the thought. Was this youth already that powerful?
“I like passionate foreign friends like you.” Mo Wen smiled and held Alec’s hand. A terrifying force suddenly burst forth from his hand. After the baptism of the Fighting Spirit Tower, his pure physical strength had reached terrifying levels. The explosion caused Alec’s expression to change greatly, and he immediately turned red.
He would never have expected that a Hua Xia’s man would have such amazing physical strength. He was even stronger than him, a werewolf! He could feel his palms almost being pulverized by this youth. The pain surged up within him and he almost yelped. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Tang Zhizhi and Su Wan’er realized that something was off. However, they were both very obedient and did not speak. They were afraid that they would bother Mo Wen.
Alec had intimidated quite a few people with his werewolf physique. However, he never imagined, not even in his dreams, that he would be dealt the same kind of treatment that he had dealt with others in Hua Xia.
Mo Wen only released his grasp slowly when Alec’s face started to twist in pain. He did not really crush Alec’s hand. After all, they were in the Trading Palace Hall. Neither he nor Alec dared to cause trouble here.
Stunning Snow gave Mo Wen an intense look. She did not expect Alec to lose to Mo Wen. When they had met before, his powerful soul power had stunned her. Now, his physical strength continued to shock her. The youth was not simple. No wonder he dared to accept Yao Yu’s challenge.
Alec looked at Mo Wen darkly. The hand which Mo Wen had been holding onto was still trembling, and his face was very pale. He wanted to show the Hua Xian man his place in front of Stunning Snow. However, he did not expect that he would be the one who was embarrassed.
“Foreign friend, I hope that we will meet again.”
Alec was too embarrassed to stay. After looking at Mo Wen coldly, he turned to leave the shop. He clenched the fingers in one hand. He would not be a true werewolf if he did not seek revenge for this.
“Good friend, you gave me such a great gift at this meeting.” Mo Wen looked at Stunning Snow with a vague smile. The stupid man still did not know that he had been manipulated by Stunning Snow.
The young man wearing armor standing behind Stunning Snow looked at Mo Wen curiously. He had managed to defeat Alec with just his physical strength. As a rider of the Sacred Hall, he could not even do that. This man from Hua Xia was very powerful. However, what he thought was even odder was that Her Highness Stunning Snow was targeting a person. He rarely saw that.
Mo Wen was very shocked as well. It had not been long since they parted ways. Stunning Snow’s cultivation levels had reached the equivalent of the second Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm. Ordinary cultivation would not progress this quickly. Furthermore, there was a faint layer of fog that surrounded her. He could not see her clearly.
The armored young man beside her seemed to be a servant of hers. However, his cultivation level was that of the first Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm. The armor he was wearing was no ordinary object either. It was a rare spiritually connected sacred weapon. It was similar to a magical treasure. There were different levels of sacred weapons in the western world as well and they were ordered from the highest to the lowest: the supernatural sacred weapon, the spiritually connected sacred weapon, the divine charged sacred weapon, and the heaven protection sacred weapon.
The spiritually connected sacred weapon was similar to the profound level weapon of the Immortal Cultivation Realm. Wearing a profound level ranked armor around was very impressive.
“I did not expect you to have some power. However, I advise you not to take on Yao Yu’s challenge. You are no match for her. You’d better think twice about it.”
Stunning Snow glanced at Mo Wen and then turned around to leave the shop. She did not know why she reminded the Hua Xia man in this way.
The young man in armor was like Stunning Snow’s shadow. He followed behind her silently.
“Hey, good friend, why don’t we have a bet?” Mo Wen asked with a smile.
Stunning Snow stopped and turned around slowly. She said lightly, “What do you want to wager?”
“If I beat Yao Yu, how about you become my woman too?” Mo Wen said, laughing. The woman had tried to get him into trouble. He did not mind teasing her.
The armored young man’s expression changed, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He looked at Mo Wen icily. How dare the person insult Her Highness Stunning Snow? He deserved to die. If they were in Rome, he would definitely get the riders of Sacred Hall to capture the man and burn him in the sacred fire.
“I am not Yao Yu. I will not use myself as a wager. Furthermore, you cannot beat Yao Yu. You can go and try if you do not believe me. There is no one in Hua Xia that can beat that woman.”
Stunning Snow turned around coldly and left. She could let the time he peeked at her in the shower go. But how dare he try to seduce her so openly?! He was truly a bad person.
The young man in armor glared at Mo Wen warningly. Then, he turned around and followed Stunning Snow.
“Mo Wen, Yao Yu is truly powerful,” Tang Zhizhi could not help but remind him. She had already received news that the top-most talent of Huatian Palace, Guo Mengqiao and Chou Tong, had both investigated that woman. Neither of them dared to attack.
“Don’t worry. I know what to do,” Mo Wen answered with a smile. He would not be led around by a woman. No matter whether he could beat Yao Yu or not, she would have been getting carried away if she thought that she could make him suffer a loss.
The procession left the Trading Palace Hall. There were many quality goods in the hall but almost all of those that Mo Wen liked, he could not afford. Those that he could afford, he did not like. Simply put, he did not have enough money and could only just look around inside the Trading Palace Hall.
However, Mo Wen thought of a good way to earn money. He was going to set up a shop that sold only spiritual pills on the business street of the Dragon City.
He found out from Tang Zhizhi that the shops on the business street were not all large shops from various Inner worlds. There were also some that belonged to the higher-ranking executors of Huatian Palace. Huatian Palace’s high-ranking executors all had the right to set up a shop on the street. That was a reward from Huatian Palace to these high-ranking executors.
Furthermore, the senate of the Senate Hall could even set up shops in the Trading Palace Hall. Mo Wen went to a few shops in the hall, and more than half of the shops were owned by the senate of Huatian Palace.
Mo Wen was a member of the Martial Arts Grandmaster Palace Hall and could naturally enjoy this benefit as well. However, he could only set up a shop on the business street and not in the Trading Palace Hall.
